Seller Moulay Souleimane Cherkaoui and his wife, Hind Hrida, bought the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion on North Beverly Drive in 2008 for $7.3 million, according to property records.

Mr. Cherkaoui is the son of Moroccan Princess Lalla Malika and cousin to the current ruler, King Mohammed VI.

The half-acre estate sits behind the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, and has a large, tree-lined backyard, pool and outdoor entertainment area, according to the listing.

The mansion, at 7,000 square feet, was recently remodeled, according to the listing, and gives a palatial first impression (one befitting a royal family). The front door opens into a two-story limestone foyer with a winding staircase and open views to the dining room and beyond to the gardens and pool.
